Adiuifies In response to the need of an active women's organization, Sigma Pi Epsilon was formed early this year with membership open to all women of the junior college. The Greek letters of the title signify the social, philanthropic, and educational efforts of the sorority. Approxi- mately fifty women are now members. Activities in 1962 included a very successful co-rec night and the distribution of Thanks- giving favors to area hospitals. After Christmas caroling in the hospitals, all enjoyed a social gathering. Proceeds from a candy sale paid for a Christ- mas party at the Princeton orphanage. In 1963, sorority members and dates took an educational trip to Chicago. Proceeds of a Valentines Day Dance went to the Wilmot Fund and the Heart Fund. There was also another successful co-rec night. fm. .mln . wt-.
